| Hints for uses in your library | Use complex language with children. During story times, use unfamiliar words to describe the setting of the book or what the character is doing, eating, etc. For this activity, add a descriptive adjective to each animal, such as clumsy, serious, or busy. For example, a clumsy crab. Try to match both the physical animal and its personality as you act it out. |
